One month ago today I made a move into a studio apartment in Spring Hill. A big move and change for me after sharing a house with G for 22 years.
I have a much smaller kitchen than I am used to so am getting used to working in a small space. It just takes some careful planning.
 |
| My cook books are close at hand |
I didn't realise how many cook books I had until I put them all together on one shelf above the kitchen cupboards.
 |
| My favourite little pieces look great here |
The violets on the shelf under the bubble glass window are loving their new home. One plant has 3 new blooms already.
 |
| Smaller stove |
So far the stove has cooked very well. I am getting used to an electric cook top. My favourite french baking pan JUST fits in the over phew!
 |
| My largest working space |
I have learned that my big wooden chopping board fits over the sink so I do serious chopping etc there. As I also have a garbage disposal in the second sink it is so easy to just scrape the peelings into the sink. Just a new way of doing things.
 |
| White bean dip |
I made this dip today as friend C is coming over for a drink. A whole head of roasted garlic and a can of white beans - so simple.
 |
| My entry |
I am very happy with this entry. It looks so cheery and welcoming. Also the plants are doing so well.
 |
| Dining area |
The plants in the dining area are still looking happy as well.
So far I have cooked chicken in the oven, a lamb pasta bake, a lentil soup, grilled fish and tonight I am making a curry. A few more practice runs before I do a serious dinner for guests.
